GE Triple Crock Round Slow Cooker

I bet most of us spent days window shopping during the Christmas Holiday and spent hours buying those good deals huh? That's what hubby and I did. We are not impulsive buyer so; when we saw this item few weeks ago, we waited for the price-dropped! On New Year's Eve, this item was sold for $29 so; we bought it.

This Round Triple Slow Cooker features three removable 1.5-quart stoneware inserts. It features individual heat settings, has glass lids and lid holder. This item is colored black and stainless steel. It features Non-skid feet and spoon rests. We like this product. Meal preparation is so much easier. I recommend this product and you can check it out in Wal-Mart.

Green Apple Cutter: Handy Kitchen Helper

Some tasks at home look deceiving! There are times we thought it is easy to do but, it ends up time consuming. Cutting apples is tricky and we don't want it especially when we are in a hurry for work. I love eating apples but sometimes it is inconvenient to prepare. I prefer berries and grapes because I don't have to do anything but rinse them thoroughly. With apples, I need to cut them in slices but, I am too lazy to do all that especially when I am in a hurry. But, look what I found!

I saw this kitchen lil helper at IKEA Home Store and it is very affordable. Every mom should have this for prep convenience. It is easy and safe to use. The apple cuts are perfect, clean and most of all, quick! I told my mom that I will buy one for her too. I only bought this for less than $5. I did check online and some prices are way up to $30.

Cutting apples in seconds is totally convenient! The middle part is separated when you use this tool so; nothing to trim after. There is no mess at all. Check it out in IKEA.

Make sure that when you visit the fruit section, you pick the medium size apples. I bought an extra-large apple one time and it doesn't fit (*o*). If you love gigantic apples, you need a larger apple cutter. In IKEA, I only saw a one size apple cutter but, this tool is all you need really.

Well, after seeing this kitchen tool, would you rather use a knife to cut apples or spend $5 bucks?  The next time you visit IKEA, get this apple cutter and thank me later. Thanks for stopping by.

Table Accessories

After moving in to our new home, arranging is non-stop. We lived here for 5 months now and it seems like forever. We love our neighborhood because it is peaceful and everyone takes care of their yard. We live near NASA's Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach is just nearby where access to a beautiful beach is just few minutes away.Every major stores are just 10 minutes away. The only setback is that our favorite home furnishing store is not here. IKEA is in Orlando and we have to travel about an hour to get there. I bought these scented candles from IKEA and anytime this week, we will be shopping there to buy some needed decors and table accessories. Yes, it is worth to travel that far! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend (*0*)

Functional Kitchen

Three months ago, we bought a house near the beach and we have been enjoying living in it since we gutted the whole kitchen. It was a dingy, outdated and just a total mess area in the house. The project took 4 days to finish and now, we have a functional and one of our favorite hangout rooms in the house.

Purchasing the kitchen cabinet was not hard at all. I figured out the color, measurement and the lay-out so; workers will have no interruption in their job. The fun part was buying premium brands of faucets, stainless sink, cabinet handles, stainless steel appliances, beautiful countertop, backsplash, lighting fixtures and more. My husband and I wanted our kitchen to have a relaxing and contemporary appearance. So far, we are happy with our kitchen and it is the heart of our home where we enjoyed cooking our meals.

We chose the highest quality products that have the elegance in visual appearance and meet our standard. The planning and buying of materials were easy because we have been watching home shows on TV. Somehow, it helped us with our decision in the selection of kitchen products and accessories. We are happy with our kitchen and it feels great to own a house. For now, our next project is landscaping the back yard. Oh, I can't wait!

I Love Ikea

What more can I say but, I just love Ikea. The dresser, bed frame, cabinet, book shelves, futton, kitchen wares and home decors that we have came from Ikea Home Furnishings.I love to assemble all the things that we bought from this store especially the big book shelves and the bed frame. If you are busy and impatient, their item is not for you but, you can pay extra when you have them assemble the product for you. Do you watch a show in HGTV channel where they fix houses? Most of their home accessories came from Ikea such as the rugs, window treatments, wall decor,and other stuffs.

Well, this is not an American store but, Americans love their quality home furnishings. Basically, when you visit this place, you have something in hand when go out the store. You can always see things that you need for your home. Check it out in your area and I know you will learn to love it sooner than you think (",).

Room Designs at IKEA

I love shopping at IKEA Home Furnishing and most of our furniture's came from this store. It gives me the sense of accomplishment whenever I can assemble a cabinet or a table. The biggest unit that I was able to assemble was the queen size Hopen bed frame with the head board.Hubby and I loves shopping in this store because it gives us an idea what accessory was missing in our kitchen, living room or bedroom. They have show rooms like these pictures here that gives customers the idea what would it look like if a room has certain limited sq foot area. It's amazing that their designers were able to pull the design and style in classy manner. In fact, most of their products were used in HGTV channel. Their products are in good quality and the price is so affordable.If you are new to IKEA store, it is easy to buy their products. You will just copy the item number and get the isle number and make sure you know the number of boxes. The second floor is the showroom and if you like the product, copy the numbers given and you proceed to the first floor.On the first floor, you will find thousands of stocks in boxes. This store is a self-service so; you are responsible to find your item, pull your item, bring the item all the way to pay it. There is a self-service cash register too. If you are confident to pay it your way, it's alright but, some area has someone who can assist you too.They have a new catalog so; you better grab one. If you don't have, you can visit their Website and sign up for FREE catalog.
